Sony Xperia Z Coming Soon to Three UK

The smartphone is likely to be available for free on new terms

As expected, Sony Mobile unveiled the Xperia Z smartphone at Consumer Electronics Show 2013 (CES), in Last Vegas.

The Japanese company confirmed that the handset would launch globally in Q1 2013, but no details on the Xperia Z's exact release date and pricing options were offered.

However, it appears that Three UK is among the first carriers to announce that it will sell Sony's new Android flagship smartphone: “We’re really excited to be able to bring this fab new Xperia to you in the not too distant future,” said Sylvia Chind, head of devices, Three UK.

Even though the carrier has yet to unveil the phone's price, we expect that Xperia Z will be available for free on some types of plans, so stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
